Krispy,
I fish Aquidneck Island area very heavily as there are many of many good spots to fish from.. plenty of good spots... Some times it's tough for the littlest thing can make it a good or bad day.. as you need to drive from spot to spot....
Now with PowerPro.. i fish with it now as my catch depended on it... i'll use 50lb for normal days where the wind isn't over 10-12 mph.. on the days where the wind is blowing over 12mph i'll use 65lb as i've noticed less wind knots.... i throw on Ande 60 leader material for surface plugs and SeaGuar 50 floro for divers/bait. For connecting powerpro to the leader/floro i'll tie a reverse albright knot, as i've had many slips/breaks with uni knots. You should see the faces on the people plugging on Second Beach as they are wading out some 100+ft and i'm just getting my feet wet and placing my plug atleast 50+ infront of thier cast.
I used 40lb floro like for 3 outings from different spools... I've had so much trouble with it as for me it frays too easily and it lacks in knot strength.. i could bust the knot with a good tug.. a friend let me try the 50 and what a difference. I never noticed a difference in hits with floro vs mono on surface plugs like pencils. but i've noticed a difference with live bait.. Long story short.. I was using 50lb jinkai leader material over at Block Island dropping Eels to hungry bass.. 3 of us on a boat 2 others using seaguar 50.. well they each caught 5 bass before i switched to the seaguar then and i started to catch...
